Circle K partners with Pieta and PIPS
Circle K has announced a new three-year charity partnership with suicide and self-harm prevention charity, Pieta.
The partnership will see Circle K commit to fundraising €1 million for Pieta over the next three years.
The charity’s services include free counselling to those with suicidal ideation, those engaging in self-harm, and those bereaved by suicide across Ireland.
Support will also extend to Northern Ireland, with customer donations directed to PIPS Suicide Prevention Ireland, Pieta’s partner in the region.
The partnership officially launches this week across Circle K sites nationwide.
On 15th January, Circle K will donate 1c from every litre of fuel sold in the Republic of Ireland to Pieta, and 1p from every litre sold in Northern Ireland to PIPS Suicide Prevention Ireland.
This initiative applies solely to retail sales and does not include commercial or bulk fuel transactions.
Ciara Foxton, managing director, Circle K Ireland said the goal is to “raise vital funds and awareness so that anyone in need can access free, professional help, 24 hours a day, every day”.
